The human gut microbiome, a complex ecosystem with hundreds of interacting species, is influenced by species interactions, host characteristics, and the host's environment, including the social network. This project focuses on understanding how local conditions and social networks shape the host microbiota. The candidate will simulate social networks in vitro to control conditions, migration rates, and network structure while working with synthetic gut communities to develop a mathematical model for predictions.

The successful candidate will have access to advanced anaerobic culturing equipment to implement this project at the Laboratory of Microbial Systems Biology. This PhD opportunity is part of the Marie Curie Doctoral Network, HoloGen, within the Molecular Bacteriology unit at the Rega Institute.

  • Enrollment at a top European university
  • Exciting research environment
  • Part of a European (Marie-Curie) training network
  • Competitive salary
